Well, I'm going to the Belgian Spa-Francorchamps racing track tomorrow morning with friends. There's a Ferrari meeting there - owners coming with their own private cars, and historic sports cars (the ones that races at the Le Mans 24hours in the 60's and 70's) and historic Formula One cars (ones driven by legends like Niki Lauda and Gilles Villeneuve). Since the track itself is very special and incredibly well suited for photography, I'm planning on taking a lot of photos all day. Just for laughs (and for the sake of showing off ;) this is what I bought today ;) A box of 5 rolls of Kodak Portra 400 VC, another box of 5 rolls of Kodak Elitechrome 100, another pack of 5 Fuji Provia 400F rolls, 2 rolls of Fuji Velvia, one roll of Provia 100F, 5 rolls of Fuji Sensia, one roll Kodak Portra b&w, one roll Kodak T400CN b&w and one roll of Ilford XP2 b&w. Which makes up for a total of 936 shots. And I still have the feeling I haven't got enough rolls with me, lol! Hmmmmm.....if we spend 10 hours at the track, I have to shoot 93.6 shots per hour, is 1.56 shots per minute.....Arrrghhhh!!! Seriously, I wasn't planning on shooting everything, but they expect to have both sunny, overcast and rainy weather on the same day AND I'll be shooting action shots & cars that are standing still. So I do need different stuff :) Hope to show you some stuff next week...
